Toxic effect of alcohol (T51) ICD-10-CM
The T51 code range covers toxic effect of alcohol with 108 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 72 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T51
7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

About the T51 Code Range
Alcohol poisoning is the toxic effect described by T51.
The subdivisions distinguish ethanol (T51.0), methanol (T51.1), 2-propanol (T51.2), and fusel oil (T51.3). Other alcohols (T51.8) and unspecified alcohol (T51.9) have separate subdivisions. Unspecified alcohol is further divided by whether the toxic effect was accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, or undetermined.
The final character distinguishes an initial encounter (A), a subsequent encounter (D), or later effects (S).
